Hair Care Compositions Comprising Malodor Reduction Compositions

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of using such hair care compositions. Such hair care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such hair care compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Unscented or lightly scented products are desired by consumers as they may be considered more natural and discreet than more highly scented products. Manufacturers of unscented or lightly scented products for controlling malodors rely on malodor reduction ingredients or other technologies (e.g. filters) to reduce malodors. However, effectively controlling malodors, for example, amine-based malodors (e.g. fish and urine), thiol and sulfide-based malodors (e.g. garlic and onion), C₂-C₁₂ carboxylic acid based malodors (e.g. body and pet odor), indole based malodors (e.g. fecal and bad breath), short chain fatty aldehyde based malodors (e.g. grease) and geosmin based malodors (e.g. mold/mildew) may be difficult, and the time required for a product to noticeably reduce malodors may create consumer doubt as to the product's efficacy on malodors. Often times, manufacturers incorporate scented perfumes to help mask these difficult malodors.

Unfortunately, malodor control technologies typically cover up the malodor with a stronger scent and thus interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology. Thus, limited nature of the current malodor control technologies is extremely constraining. Thus what is needed is a broader palette of malodor control technologies so the perfume community can deliver the desired level of character in a greater number of situations/applications. Surprisingly, Applicants recognized that in addition to blocking a malodor's access to a sensory cell, in order to achieve the desired goal, a malodor control technology must leave such sensor cell open to other molecules, for example scent molecules. Thus, hair care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and, when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

Selenium sulfide containing anti-fungal hair and scalp care compositions provide some of the most effective protection from and relief of dandruff conditions. Historically, selenium sulfide and other sulfur-based formulations are highly medicinal and pungent smelling—both in use and throughout the day—due to residual sulfur compounds deposited on the hair and scalp. These significant negative cosmetic attributes may cause consumers to avoid selenium sulfide and other sulfur-based formulations and therefore product usage compliance is difficult and as a result consumers often do not find complete relief from their dandruff condition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates a hair care composition comprising, based on total composition weight: a sum total of from about 0.0001% to about 2% of alpha,alpha,6,6-tetramethyl bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene-propanal) and one or more malodor reduction materials having a Sulfur MORV>3; from about 0.01% to about 10% of a scalp active material selected from the group consisting of selenium sulfide, sulfur and mixtures thereof; from about 0.1% to about 40%, of a surfactant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

“Hair Care” composition” as defined herein, may include shampoos, conditioners and leave-on-treatments.

“Rinse-off” means the intended product usage includes application to hair followed by rinsing and/or wiping the product from the skin and/or hair within a few seconds to minutes of the application step.

“STnS” refers to sodium trideceth(n) sulfate, wherein n can define the average number of moles of ethoxylate per molecule.

As used herein “MORV” is the calculated malodor reduction value for a subject material. A material's MORV indicates such material's ability to decrease or even eliminate the perception of one or more malodors. For purposes of the present application, a material's MORV is calculated in accordance with method found in the test methods section of the present application.

As used herein, “malodor” refers to compounds generally offensive or unpleasant to most people, such as the complex odors associated with bowel movements.

As used herein, “odor blocking” refers to the ability of a compound to reduce the perception of a malodor.

As used herein, the term “perfume” does not include malodor reduction materials. Thus, the perfume portion of a composition does not include, when determining the perfume's composition, any malodor reduction materials found in the composition as such malodor reduction materials are described herein. In short, if a material has a malodor reduction value “MORV” that is within the range of the MORV recited in the subject claim, such material is a malodor reduction material for purposes of such claim.

As used herein, the terms “a” and “an” mean “at least one”.

As used herein, the terms “include”, “includes” and “including” are meant to be non-limiting.

Unless otherwise noted, all component or composition levels are in reference to the active portion of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources of such components or compositions.

All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages and ratios are calculated based on the total composition unless otherwise indicated.

It should be understood that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this specification will include every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.

Hair Care Compositions

Rinse-off hair care compositions can come in a variety of forms. For example, a hair care composition can be in a liquid form and can be a shampoo, conditioning shampoo,

Hair Care compositions can include perfume materials. Many consumers prefer hair care compositions that can consistently provide a desired scent, or odor that can be perceived each time the product is used. Perfume materials can provide the desired scent or odor to these hair care compositions. These perfume (i.e., fragrance) materials can include perfumes, perfume raw materials, and perfume delivery systems.

In an embodiment, the composition comprises from about 0.001% to about 10%, or from about 0.01% to about 7%, or from about 0.1% to about 5% of a zinc-containing layered material, by total weight of the composition.

Zinc-containing layered materials may be those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A. F. Wells “Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLMs) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions. The following classes of ZLMs represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which fit this definition.

Many ZLMs occur naturally as minerals. In an embodiment, the ZLM is selected from the group consisting of: hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide), and mixtures thereof. Related minerals that are zinc-containing may also be included in the composition. Natural ZLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.

Another common class of ZLMs, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered double hydroxides. In an embodiment, the ZLM is a layered double hydroxide conforming to the formula [M²⁺ _(1-x)M³⁺ _(x)(OH)₂]^(x+) A^(m−) _(m).nH₂O wherein some or all of the divalent ions (M²⁺) are zinc ions (Crepaldi, E L, Pava, P C, Tronto, J, Valim, J B J. Colloid Interfac. Sci. 2002, 248, 429-42).

Yet another class of ZLMs can be prepared called hydroxy double salts (Morioka, H., Tagaya, H., Karasu, M, Kadokawa, J, Chiba, K Inorg. Chem. 1999, 38, 4211-6). In an embodiment, the ZLM is a hydroxy double salt conforming to the formula [M²⁺ _(1-x)M²⁺ _(1+x)(OH)_(3(1-y))]⁺ A^(n) _((1=3y)/n).nH₂O where the two metal ions (M²⁺) may be the same or different. If they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zn_(1+x)(OH)₂]^(2x+) 2x A⁻.nH₂O. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. In an embodiment, the ZLM is zinc hydroxychloride and/or zinc hydroxynitrate. These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replace the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process.

In an embodiment, the composition comprises basic zinc carbonate. Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, Ill., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, Ohio, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, N.Y., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, Pa., USA). Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as “Zinc Carbonate” or “Zinc Carbonate Basic” or “Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate”, is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice.

In embodiments having a zinc-containing layered material and a pyrithione or polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, the ratio of zinc-containing layered material to pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione is from about 5:100 to about 10:1, or from about 2:10 to about 5:1, or from about 1:2 to about 3:1.

Test Method for Determining Saturation Vapour Pressure (VP)

The saturation Vapour Pressure (VP) values are computed for each PRM in the perfume mixture being tested. The VP of an individual PRM is calculated using the VP Computational Model, version 14.02 (Linux) available from Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. (ACD/Labs) (Toronto, Canada) to provide the VP value at 25° C. expressed in units of torr. The ACD/Labs' Vapor Pressure model is part of the ACD/Labs model suite.

Test Method for Determining the Logarithm of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (log P)

The value of the log of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (log P) is computed for each PRM in the perfume mixture being tested. The log P of an individual PRM is calculated using the Consensus log P Computational Model, version 14.02 (Linux) available from Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. (ACD/Labs) (Toronto, Canada) to provide the unitless log P value. The ACD/Labs' Consensus log P Computational Model is part of the ACD/Labs model suite.

Test Method for the Generation of Molecular Descriptors

In order to conduct the calculations involved in the computed-value test methods described herein, the starting information required includes the identity, weight percent, and molar percent of each PRM in the perfume being tested, as a proportion of that perfume, wherein all PRMs in the perfume composition are included in the calculations. Additionally for each of those PRMs, the molecular structure, and the values of various computationally-derived molecular descriptors are also required, as determined in accordance with the Test Method for the Generation of Molecular Descriptors described herein.

For each PRM in a perfume mixture or composition, its molecular structure is used to compute various molecular descriptors. The molecular structure is determined by the graphic molecular structure representations provided by the Chemical Abstract Service (“CAS”), a division of the American Chemical Society, Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A. These molecular structures may be obtained from the CAS Chemical Registry System database by looking up the index name or CAS number of each PRM. For PRMs, which at the time of their testing are not yet listed in the CAS Chemical Registry System database, other databases or information sources may be used to determine their structures. For a PRM which has potentially more than one isomer present, the molecular descriptor computations are conducted using the molecular structure of only one of the isomers, which is selected to represent that PRM. The selection of isomer is determined by the relative amount of extension in the molecular structures of the isomers. Of all the isomers of a given PRM, it is the isomer whose molecular structure that is the most prevalent which is the one that is selected to represent that PRM. The structures for other potential isomers of that PRM are excluded from the computations. The molecular structure of the isomer that is the most prevalent is paired with the concentration of that PRM, where the concentration reflects the presence of all the isomers of that PRM that are present.

A molecule editor or molecular sketching software program, such as ChemDraw (CambridgeSoft/PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, Mass., U.S.A.), is used to duplicate the 2-dimensional molecular structure representing each PRM. Molecular structures should be represented as neutral species (quaternary nitrogen atoms are allowed) with no disconnected fragments (e.g., single structures with no counter ions). The winMolconn program described below can convert any deprotonated functional groups to the neutral form by adding the appropriate number of hydrogen atoms and will discard the counter ion.

For each PRM, the molecular sketching software is used to generate a file which describes the molecular structure of the PRM. The file(s) describing the molecular structures of the PRMs is subsequently submitted to the computer software program winMolconn, version 1.0.1.3 (Hall Associates Consulting, Quincy, Mass., U.S.A., www.molconn.com), in order to derive various molecular descriptors for each PRM. As such, it is the winMolconn software program which dictates the structure notations and file formats that are acceptable options. These options include either a MACCS SDF formatted file (i.e., a Structure-Data File); or a Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification (i.e., a SMILES string structure line notation) which is commonly used within a simple text file, often with a “.smi” or “.txt” file name extension. The SDF file represents each molecular structure in the format of a multi-line record, while the syntax for a SMILES structure is a single line of text with no white space. A structure name or identifier can be added to the SMILES string by including it on the same line following the SMILES string and separated by a space, e.g.: C1=CC═CC═C1 benzene.

The winMolconn software program is used to generate numerous molecular descriptors for each PRM, which are then output in a table format. Specific molecular descriptors derived by winMolconn are subsequently used as inputs (i.e., as variable terms in mathematical equations) for a variety of computer model test methods in order to calculate values such as: saturation Vapour Pressure (VP); Boiling Point (BP); logarithm of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (log P); Odour Detection Threshold (ODT); Malodour Reduction Value (MORV); and/or Universal Malodour Reduction Value (Universal MORV) for each PRM. The molecular descriptor labels used in the models' test method computations are the same labels reported by the winMolconn program, and their descriptions and definitions can be found listed in the winMolconn documentation. The following is a generic description of how to execute the winMolconn software program and generate the required molecular structure descriptors for each PRM in a composition.

Computing Molecular Structure Descriptors Using winMolconn:

-   -   1) Assemble the molecular structure for one or more perfume         ingredients in the form of a MACCS Structure-Data File, also         called an SDF file, or as a SMILES file.     -   2) Using version 1.0.1.3 of the winMolconn program, running on         an appropriate computer, compute the full complement of         molecular descriptors that are available from the program, using         the SDF or SMILES file described above as input.         -   a. The output of winMolconn is in the form of an ASCII text             file, typically space delimited, containing the structure             identifiers in the first column and respective molecular             descriptors in the remaining columns for each structure in             the input file.     -   3) Parse the text file into columns using a spreadsheet software         program or some other appropriate technique. The molecular         descriptor labels are found on the first row of the resulting         table.     -   4) Find and extract the descriptor columns, identified by the         molecular descriptor label, corresponding to the inputs required         for each model.     -   a. Note that the winMolconn molecular descriptor labels are         case-sensitive.

MORV Calculation

1.) Input Molecular Descriptor values as determined via the method above into the following equation:

MORV=−0.0035+0.8028×(SHCsatu)+2.1673×(xvp7)−1.3507×(c1C1C3d)+0.61496×(c1C1O2)+0.00403×(idc)−0.23286×(nd2).

This equation relates a material's effectiveness in reducing the malodor 3-mercapto-3-methylhexan-1-ol (thiol based malodors) 2.) For purpose of the present application, a material's MORV is the highest MORV value from the above equation. The purpose of this experimental design is to determine whether malodor reducing compositions show benefit in reducing the perception of malodor from selenium sulfide-containing shampoos.

Procedure:

Six malodor reduction accords are dosed into unperfumed selenium sulfide shampoo at 4 different levels; samples are allowed to equilibrate at room temperature for at least 1 week before evaluating.

Samples to a depth of ˜1 cm are placed into plastic cups; cups are covered with lids, then lids are removed for evaluation. Each sample is evaluated by 4 trained odor panelists for the presence of sulfur malodor. The unperfumed shampoo with no Malodor Reduction Composition (MRC) is set as positive control (ie, “2”) while a separate batch of the same shampoo formula, sans selenium sulfide, is set as negative control (ie, “0”). Additionally, a 50:50 blend of the 2 unperfumed shampoos (with and without selenium sulfide) is created and this is set as an additional “low sulfur” benchmark for improved coverage (Ie, “1”). Sample presentation is randomized.

Instructions are provided to the panelists as follows:

-   -   1) Please smell sample labeled “Control”. Note the amount of         sulfur base odor. This is your benchmark for subsequent         evaluations. You can also refer to “Low Sulfur Control” and “No         Sulfur Control” as needed, however, the scale is relative to         “Control”.     -   2) Please evaluate each sample by removing the lid, and indicate         the amount of sulfur relative to the control that you can detect         in each sample. You may or may not be able to smell perfume         materials in the test samples; please assess only for amount of         sulfur odor using the scale below:         -   0=I cannot smell any sulfur odor at all (you can refer to             “No Sulfur Control”)         -   1=I smell some sulfur odor, but less than the “control” (You             can refer to “Low Sulfur Control)         -   2=I smell sulfur odor equal to the control         -   3=I smell more sulfur odor than in the control             Panelists evaluate each level series as a set, taking a             break in between sets to avoid olfactive saturation.

SUMMARY

MRC 1, MRC 2, MRC 3 and MRC 4 all show considerable reduction (<1 Avg) in perceived sulfur levels at one or more levels tested. Additionally, MRC 2 showed reduction at all levels tested, with all panelists assigning a zero or “no sulfur” rating at the 0.1% added level. As a follow up, the MRC 2 is diluted in 100 deg F. tap water at a ratio of 1 ml shampoo to 75 ml water; these samples are placed into cups, capped, and agitated until the shampoo is dissolved. They are immediately evaluated by 2 panelists to determine if sulfur odor is present in the dilute samples.

MRC 2 @ 0.15%, diluted 1:75 in 0 0 warm water (100 F.) In dilution, the perceived benefit holds, particularly at the 0.1% and 0.15% levels.

Conclusion

Malodor Reduction Composition's demonstrates effectiveness in the masking/blocking of selenium sulfide odor. In the present invention, this understanding can be leveraged in formulation strategies for selenium sulfide containing hair care compositions.

I. Hair Switch Selection and Preparation—for all Tests

-   -   a) For each product, a 20 gram hair switch is used, cleaned and         stripped of perfume. Cleaning may be done via external vendor         (ie, ATL 2× baking soda/main mix) or internally via local         documented procedures. (New hair switches can be pre-washed with         unperfumed shampoo before very first use)     -   b) Each hair switch is evaluated before each use to ensure no         contamination/off odors.

II. Shampoo Fragrance Profile

-   -   a) A neat product is evaluated; and a neat sulfur score is         recorded     -   b) The water temperature may be adjusted to 100 F/38 C and 1.5         gal/5.7 l per min; and hair is wetted for 20 seconds.     -   c) 2 ml product is applied; and lather is produced for 30         seconds.     -   d) Odor is evaluated using sulfur scoring and comments are         recorded.

Conclusion

This series of experiments indicates that malodor reducing ingredients or a combination of those, such as MRC2, provides a malodor blocking benefit both in neat product and during the lather phase. This benefit goes beyond the masking benefit that would be provided by a non-malodor reducing perfume. In table 4 (0.1% data), the non-malodor reducing accord exhibits malodor interference via masking benefit due to the perfume intensity imparted by the ingredients. In table 5 (the 0.01% data) it is demonstrated that as level is reduced the masking benefit of the non-malodor-reducing accord is decreased, while the malodor blocking property of the MRC2 is maintained.

Method of Preparation

The conditioning compositions of “Ex. 1” through “Ex. 3” and “CEx. i as shown above can be prepared by any conventional method well known in the art. They are suitably made by one of the following Methods I or II as shown above.

Method I

Cationic surfactants and high melting point fatty compounds are added to water with agitation, and heated to about 80° C. The mixture is cooled down to about 55° C. and gel matrix is formed. Zinc carbonates, and if included, silicones and preservatives, are added to the gel matrix with agitation. Then, zinc pyrithione, and if included, polymers are added with agitation at about 45° C. Then, if included, other components such as perfumes are added with agitation. Then the composition is cooled down to room temperature.

Method II

Cationic surfactants and high melting point fatty compounds are mixed and heated to from about 66° C. to about 85° C. to form an oil phase. Separately, water is heated to from about 20° C. to about 48° C. to form an aqueous phase. In Becomix® direct injection rotor-stator homogenizer, the oil phase is injected and it takes 0.2 second or less for the oils phase to reach to a high shear field having an energy density of from 1.0×10⁵ J/m³ to 1.0×10⁷ J/m³ where the aqueous phase is already present. A gel matrix is formed at a temperature of above 50° C. to about 60° C. Silicones, Perfume, Polymer and Preservative, if included, are added to the gel matrix with agitation at temperature below 55° C. and mixed well. Then, zinc carbonate, if included, followed by zinc pyrithione, are added to the gel matrix with agitation at temperature below 50° C. and mix well. Finally the composition is cooled down to room temperature.
